GE TIP Tankers continues to invest in their municipal and wastes tanker service

GE TIP Tanker Services, the specialist tanker hire division of GE Equipment Services, have just taken delivery of the seven new High Volume JetVac units from Whale Tankers.

The addition of these new tankers are part of GE TIP Tanker Services expansion of more diverse specialised assets within the already established large hire fleet of truck-mounted and semi-trailer vacuum tankers and gully emptier/jetters.

With the secure financial backing of GE, TIP offers these specialist municipal and waste vehicles on innovative leasing and contract hire solutions with a choice in the level of back up services available to customers.

The High Volume JetVacs from Whale have a capacity of 2,600 gallons (11,585 litres) fitted with a high performance jetting pump and vacuum take combination.

Each vehicle has been specified with a Pratissoli MS50 high pressure pump, capable of 50 gallons per minute at 2000 psi and will also feature two hydraulically operated hose reels, with one being self-aligned. Some of the new units will be fitted with a 5 Gully Boom to increase its application use.

All trucks will be mounted on both Volvo and Scania chassis and will operate out of four dedicated TIP Tanker locations of Avonmouth, Knottingley, Leicester and Liverpool.

GE TIP Tanker Services, Managing Director, Mr Howard Wilkinson comments "As an experienced partner in waste and municipal tank fleet management, the additions of these new vehicles will broaden our tank fleet offering to the engineering and contractor sectors.
